TR&DE Launch Event

The new TR&DE Programme aims to provide intensive, specialist support to Northwest-based businesses to develop R&D and commercial potential.

The Programme is to be delivered in partnership by Grant Thornton and EV, on behalf of UK Trade & Investment and is being funded by the Northwest Regional Development Agency with the European Regional Development Fund.

The Programme will not only offer participants valuable one-to-one support and advice from the teams at Grant Thornton and EV, but also up to £3,000 in matched funding to implement a tailored programme to assist in the development of the company's individual needs and aspirations.

To hear more about the Programme and how it can help the early stage North West businesses that you work with, you are invited to attend the launch event being held on 16 March 2011 at the Daresbury Innovation Centre.

Registration will be from 8am with the presentation from the Programme team commencing at 8.30am. The event is expected to finish by no later than 9.30am.

Please note that places at the event are strictly limited so please register early to avoid disappointment.
